To allow your workforce customers for analytics with fine-grained knowledge entry controls and audit knowledge entry, you might need to create a number of AWS Id and Entry Administration (IAM) roles with totally different knowledge permissions and map the workforce customers to a type of roles. A number of customers are sometimes mapped to the identical function the place they want comparable privileges to allow knowledge entry controls on the company person or group stage and audit knowledge entry.
AWS IAM Id Heart allows centralized administration of workforce person entry to AWS accounts and functions utilizing a neighborhood identification retailer or by connecting company directories through identification suppliers (IdPs). IAM Id Heart now helps trusted identification propagation, a streamlined expertise for customers who require entry to knowledge with AWS analytics companies.
Amazon EMR Studio is an built-in improvement setting (IDE) that makes it easy for knowledge scientists and knowledge engineers to construct knowledge engineering and knowledge science functions. With trusted identification propagation, knowledge entry administration could be primarily based on a person’s company identification and could be propagated seamlessly as they entry knowledge with single sign-on to construct analytics functions with Amazon EMR (EMR Studio and Amazon EMR on EC2).
AWS Lake Formation permits knowledge directors to centrally govern, safe, and share knowledge for analytics and machine studying (ML). With trusted identification propagation, knowledge directors can straight present granular entry to company customers utilizing their identification attributes and simplify the traceability of end-to-end knowledge entry throughout AWS companies. As a result of entry is managed primarily based on a person’s company identification, they don’t want to make use of database native person credentials or assume an IAM function to entry knowledge.
On this publish, we present how you can convey your workforce identification to EMR Studio for analytics use instances, straight handle fine-grained permissions for the company customers and teams utilizing Lake Formation, and audit their knowledge entry.
Resolution overview
For our use case, we need to allow a knowledge analyst person named analyst1 to make use of their very own enterprise credentials to question knowledge they’ve been granted permissions to and audit their knowledge entry.
